An intriguing breakthrough in planetary science offered fresh insights into the origins of meteorites on Earth. For a long time, scientists have speculated about where meteorites, especially the L-type ordinary chondrites (the most common type), originated from in the asteroid belt. Recent research has now traced these meteorites back to a single “parent” asteroid family—the […]
a significant discovery in astrophysics brought neutron stars into the spotlight, particularly concerning a theoretical particle known as the axion. Neutron stars, which are the remnants of massive stars after they undergo supernova explosions, are some of the densest objects in the universe. Scientists have long suspected that axions, a candidate for dark matter, could
Gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the universe, have opened a new chapter in astrophysics. First predicted by Albert Einstein in 1915 as part of his General Theory of Relativity, these waves remained elusive for a century. The groundbreaking detection of gravitational
Physics has once again taken a monumental leap forward with the recent discovery of primordial gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime originating from the earliest moments of the universe. This finding, made possible by the cutting-edge observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) using advanced space telescopes and detectors, provides a new way
In the ever-evolving world of quantum computing, a recent milestone is capturing the attention of scientists and technology enthusiasts alike—Quantum Supremacy 2.0. Building on Google’s original demonstration of quantum supremacy in 2019, this new breakthrough not only reaffirms the power of quantum computers but demonstrates their ability to solve complex, real-world problems that were once
Physics is on the brink of uncovering one of the universe’s most elusive mysteries: dark matter. Though it makes up about 27% of the universe’s mass-energy content, dark matter remains invisible and undetectable through traditional methods. However, recent breakthroughs in the XENONnT experiment have brought us closer than ever to detecting and understanding this enigmatic
In the ever-evolving world of physics, a groundbreaking discovery has emerged—one that challenges our understanding of the fundamental nature of time and matter. Researchers have recently confirmed the existence of “Quantum Time Crystals,” a new phase of matter that behaves unlike anything we’ve seen before. While this might sound like the stuff of science fiction,
